Richard Rawlings (The Invicible Hero) Chapter 49
The prisoners charged toward Richard in a frenzied rush, their weapons raised high, their voices echoing in a symphony of bloodlust. The crowd roared in anticipation, and the air seemed to crackle with violent energy.But just as they were mere feet away, ready to strike—Richard stopped time.The world around him froze. The prisoners were suspended mid-charge, their weapons poised to strike, but motionless. The aliens in the stands, once noisy, were now statues frozen in their wild excitement. The dust in the air hung still, and the clamor of the crowd vanished, replaced by an eerie silence.Everything was trapped in this timeless moment—except for the elder.Richard slowly straightened, his breath steady, surveying the scene around him. His gaze finally fell on the elder, who stood unfazed, watching him intently. A knowing smile tugged at the corners of the elder's lips."You possess the ability to manipulate time," the elder remarked, his voice echoing in the frozen arena. "Interes

Richard fired the gun repeatedly, each shot echoing through the stadium. The Elder stumbled backward, grunting in pain as the bullets found their mark."Is this what you call power?" Richard taunted, a fierce determination lighting up his eyes. The Elder, now on the ground, glared up at him, disbelief mingling with fury."You think mere bullets can stop me?" he snarled, his voice strained. Yet Richard could see the doubt creeping into the Elder’s expression."You may be strong, but even you can bleed," Richard shot back, stepping closer, emboldened by the sight of his foe faltering. He knew he had the advantage now, and he wasn’t about to waste it.With every ounce of strength, Richard steadied the gun, ready to press his advantage. "You wanted to hunt me down, but it looks like the tables have turned."The Elder gritted his teeth, trying to muster the strength to rise, but Richard’s relentless fire had taken its toll. "This is just the beginning," he spat defiantly. "You can't escap

With renewed hope, they pushed themselves harder, sprinting toward the light. But as they neared the exit, the ground suddenly shook, causing rocks to tumble from the ceiling.Richard glanced back, his instincts screaming at him. “Go! I’ll hold them off!”“What? No!” Addams shouted, but Richard was already positioning himself to face their pursuers.“I’ll buy you time! Just get to safety!” he insisted, determination flooding his veins.Reluctantly, Addams and the president’s daughter darted toward the exit, their hearts pounding in unison as they fled into the open air.Richard turned to face the oncoming aliens, adrenaline surging through him. He could see the anger and desperation on their faces, and he knew he had to stall them long enough for his friends to escape.---------Outside the tunnel, Addams and the president's daughter emerged into the cool night air, their eyes adjusting to the dim light of the moon. They could hear the distant sounds of chaos and shouting as the alien

The area was surrounded, and Addams looked around, his face pale. "There’s no way we can escape," he said, feeling frantic.“What do we do?” The president’s daughter exclaimed, her voice trembling. "I can’t go back to being their slave.""Calm down," Richard said, keeping his tone steady. “Panicking isn’t going to help us. We’re not out of options yet.”Addams took a shaky breath, nodding. “Alright..”The president’s daughter took a steadying breath, meeting Richard’s gaze. “What’s the plan?”“We’re breaking through,” Richard replied, his eyes sharp with determination. “We’ve come too far to stop now.”Meanwhile, the aliens continued to bark orders, searching relentlessly. “We found their car—they must be nearby! Search the perimeter!” one of them commanded.Suddenly, a strange sound echoed from above, halting the aliens in their tracks.“What’s that?” one of them asked, looking up at the sky in confusion.“No idea…” another alien replied, equally puzzled.In that moment, Richard hear

"We'll rest tonight, and tomorrow, we'll cross that river into the forest," Richard said, folding his arms as he surveyed their surroundings."What if the aliens come after us?" the president's daughter interjected, her brow furrowed with concern."She's right, man. We're not safe here," Addams added, his tone serious."We're not safe anywhere," Richard replied, his voice steady. "But we have a better chance of surviving if we go into that forest when the sun is up, rather than at night." He paused, a thought forming in his mind. "And if the aliens do come after us, we can lead them right into the forest. We can use them as bait to escape whatever evil lurks there.""Sounds like a good idea to me," Addams said, a smile breaking through his worry."I'll try to scout for any antelope or animal in the area that we can eat," Addams suggested, turning to leave."Be careful, and don't stay too long," Richard cautioned, watching Addams walk away.Once Addams was out of sight, the president's

As he struggled against their grip, he clenched his fists, lightning sparking around him in a furious glow. The mermaid holding him was hit by a bolt of electricity, releasing him as he swam desperately toward the surface.“Sophia!” he called out, panic rising as silence enveloped him.He emerged gasping for air, scanning frantically for her. “Sophia!” But there was no response, only the quiet lapping of the water against the bank.Dread filled him as he quickly came out of the river and dressed up, his eyes darting around for any sign of her. Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.“Hey, what’s up?” Addams appeared, carrying a deer he had caught.Richard’s expression hardened. “Sophia has been taken.”Addams’s eyes widened. “What? By who?”“Mermaids,” Richard said, his voice low and urgent. “Just stay here.”“Where are you going?” Addams asked, alarmed.“Back to the river. They must have a route somewhere down there. I have to find her and bring her back.”“Wait!” Addams shouted,

The lead mermaid's eyes gleamed with malice as she hissed, "She’s the Leviathan of the ocean kingdom, Ghost Rider. You are no match for her power.”Richard gave a sarcastic smile, unfazed. "Then tell her I sent my regards."In an instant, his body surged with electricity, lighting up the water around him as bolts of lightning struck each mermaid holding him. The mermaids convulsed, their sinister expressions fading into pain as the shocks weakened their grip.With a powerful stroke, Richard pushed through them, swimming upward with relentless speed. The water cleared as he broke the surface, gasping for air, and hauled himself out onto the riverbank, glancing back at the water that was now eerily still.Richard took a moment to steady his breathing, then made his way over to Addams and Sophia. Addams was crouched by the fire, focused on roasting the deer he’d caught, while Sophia sat silently, her gaze locked on the flames.As Richard approached, Sophia glanced up, her eyes wide with

Addams yawned lazily, covering his mouth with one hand as though he were bored with the whole situation. He gave a slow nod, eyes half-lidded as if barely impressed. "This is scary, mehn," he drawled, an ironic lilt in his tone. "Our honorable president—the fearless leader of a secret organization." Richard’s interest piqued, his gaze fixed on Sophia with a mix of curiosity and empathy. “It must have been hard for you,” he said quietly, “knowing your father was involved in these things.”Sophia met his gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips. "No, it wasn’t," she replied, her voice softer. "He's not really my father. He's my adopted father."Richard's brow furrowed. He cast a quick glance at Addams, who was already sound asleep, snoring loudly as he reclined in his seat, oblivious to their conversation.“Do you know who your true parents are?” Richard asked, his voice barely above a whisper, as though afraid to break the moment’s fragile tension.Sophia chuckled, the sound laced wit

Sophia shivered. “Is it just me, or is the water colder?”Richard glanced around, his senses on high alert. “Keep moving. Stay calm.”Addams gave a nervous chuckle, trying to mask his growing fear. “Sure, because calm is exactly what I feel right now.”The serpent’s head rose just below the surface, close enough that its outline could be seen if anyone dared to look down. But it remained hidden, trailing them silently.Medusa suddenly stopped, her body tense. “Did you hear that?”Richard paused. “Hear what?”Medusa shook her head. “Maybe nothing…but it felt like something moved beneath us.”Addams’ face paled. “You mean, like a fish? A really big, man-eating fish?”Sophia tried to stay composed. “Let’s not jump to conclusions.”The giant monkey suddenly halted, sniffing the air again. Its low growl rumbled through the water. “Something is here,” it muttered, loud enough for only Richard and Medusa to understand.Richard’s heart raced, but he forced a calm expression. “Keep going,” he

As they began their trek through the thick underbrush, Richard slowed his pace to walk beside Medusa. “There’s something waiting for you when we leave this forest.”Medusa raised an eyebrow. “A surprise? You’re not exactly the surprising type.”Richard’s lips twitched into a rare smile. “It’s not what you think. But you’ll see.”Medusa studied him for a moment. “Do you know about the dragons?”His expression darkened. “Dragons? No. Why do you ask?”“Just a hunch,” Medusa replied, her voice laced with suspicion.Behind them, Addams sidled up to Sophia, his face unusually serious. “I had a dream last night,” he muttered.Sophia glanced at him. “A dream?”“More like a nightmare. We all died in this forest. Every single one of us.”Sophia frowned, brushing off the chill that ran down her spine. “You’re always so negative. It was just a dream.”Addams gave her a look. “Yeah? Let’s hope you’re right.”Suddenly, the giant monkey halted, its massive body going rigid. It sniffed the air, eye

"Do you think Richard will be okay?" Sophia asked, glancing at Medusa."I'm optimistic he will," Medusa replied calmly."Come off it, ladies. Richard's not coming back, and we're screwed in this cursed forest," Addams cut in.Sophia shot Addams a glare. "You're always so negative, aren't you? Richard will come back," she said firmly, though her voice trembled slightly.Medusa remained calm, folding her arms. "Addams, your pessimism is exhausting. Richard has faced worse than this."Addams scoffed, kicking a loose branch. "You know I'm right."Sophia clenched her fists. "If you’ve given up, feel free to leave. But stop dragging the rest of us down."Medusa smirked. "He won’t leave. He’s too scared to wander off on his own.""I would, if that giant gorilla decides to come with me," Addams countered with a smirk.Sophia rolled her eyes. "Ignore him. Medusa, how do we get out of this forest?"Medusa leaned against a tree, her expression calm but weary. "We've been trying for days, and it'

Planet GethenOn Planet Gethen, the beasts arrived at the throne room, seeking an audience with their King. The King of Gethen, seated on his iron throne, watched them carefully. Beside him stood the Berserker beast, a fierce warrior dressed in heavy armor.One of the beasts stepped forward, bowing its head. "We come on behalf of the Ghost Rider. He seeks an alliance."The King's eyes narrowed, "Why would a Ghost Rider seek my aid?""The aliens have invaded Earth," the beast replied. "He believes only an alliance with the Berserkers can stop them."The colonel crossed his arms, "Why should Gethen concern itself with Earth's war?"The beast raised its head. "If the aliens conquer Earth, they will not stop there. Gethen could be next. The Ghost Rider offers a pact: fight together, or risk standing alone."The King leaned back, a smirk curling his lips. "And what does Earth have to offer us? Nothing but weakness. Tell him his offer is rejected."The colonel add

"Very well, Ghost Rider. I have three questions for you." The dragon growled."Answer them correctly, and I'll bond with you. Answer wrong, and you'll be reduced to ash." The dragon halted, its golden eyes fixed on Richard.Richard took a deep breath and steadied himself, meeting the dragon's gaze. "Go on," he said.The dragon’s voice was low and ominous. "I am the whisper in the wind, the shadow on the wall, the echo of a distant call, yet I am not sound at all. What am I?"Richard furrowed his brow, thinking carefully about the riddle. The dragon's golden eyes never left him, and the air around them felt heavy with the pressure of the moment.His mind raced, but he forced himself to focus. He thought for a moment before speaking, his voice steady. "Silence," he said. The dragon's fiery eyes glinted, a hint of approval in its gaze. "Correct," it rumbled, its massive form shifting slightly. "One down. Two to go."Richard let out a breath of relief but stayed focused, knowing he still

“Why do I feel like this is a terrible idea, coming here?” Richard muttered, his voice barely audible over the oppressive silence. He glanced around, weighing his options, thoughts of retreat flickering in his mind.But before he could take another step, a voice echoed through the cavern—deep, guttural, and inhuman.“I can smell your blood... Baldur.”A chilling fear raced down Richard’s spine as the booming voice reverberated through the cave. His breath hitched, and his heart pounded in his chest.“It’s been so long since a Ghost Rider dared to seek me out,” the voice continued, dripping with malevolent amusement. “I almost forgot how delicious they taste.”The ground beneath Richard's feet trembled as the heavy, deliberate footsteps of the dragon echoed through the cavern, each one shaking the cave like distant thunder. The heat intensified, and the air thickened with the scent of sulfur.Richard swallowed hard, the realization sinking in: he was face-to-face with the black queen.

As they continued deeper into the cave, the darkness became suffocating, consuming every hint of light until there was nothing but the flickering glow of Richard’s lightning illuminating their path."So," Doris broke the silence, her voice echoing softly against the cavern walls, "apart from controlling lightning, what other powers do you have?"Richard glanced at her, the soft crackle of electricity sparking from his fingertips. "I can stop time," he answered simply.Doris raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Stopping time is cool."He smirked. "It has its perks. But what about you? Speed can’t be your only ability."A mischievous grin spread across Doris’s face. "I can stop people’s hearts. Kill them without laying a single finger on them."Richard stopped in his tracks for a second, impressed and unnerved. "That’s… intense," he admitted. "I guess that’s how you handled those aliens earlier."Doris nodded, her smile lingering. "It gets the job done.""And Medusa?" Richard asked, g

Doris flipped between the aliens and the chained baby dragon, her movements fluid and precise. Richard stayed back, watching with cautious eyes."Eliminate the foreign threat," one of the aliens commanded in a cold, mechanical tone.There were twenty of them in total, all heavily armed. The baby dragon struggled weakly against its chains, pushed forward by a machine.The aliens opened fire, but Doris moved with lightning speed, dodging every shot. She was a blur, too fast for their weapons to track.Richard’s eyes widened as he took in the scene. "She’s a speedster," he muttered to himself. "That’s her superpower."Doris twisted in midair, landing gracefully behind an alien and knocking it into the others with a single, powerful kick. She glanced back at Richard, a smirk playing on her lips. "Still just watching? Thought you might be useful."Richard clenched his jaw, frustration flickering in his eyes. "I thought you wanted me to sit this one out."Doris laughed softly. "Changed my m

The dragon stood towering over them, its massive wings unfurling with a powerful gust that sent dust and ashes swirling around Richard and the ghost rider. Its glowing blue eyes locked onto Richard, and for a moment, he was certain this was the end. The dragon's mouth opened wide, its jagged teeth glistening, and Richard braced himself for the inevitable burst of flames.But instead of fire, a deafening roar erupted, shaking the very walls of the cave. The sound echoed like thunder, reverberating through Richard's chest, leaving him momentarily stunned. He felt the raw power of the beast's fury.As the echoes faded, the dragon lowered its head slightly, exhaling a deep rumble, and then, to Richard’s surprise, it turned away. The massive creature walked slowly toward the back of the cave, each step shaking the ground, before settling down into its hide, curling its wings around itself like a protective shield.Richard let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, his heart still
